People want the next big winner--they'd breed to the carrier anyway.
Since I never am shy about posting, let me throw out something.
Year ago, when we had a couple of big winners, Jerry Graham asked me an
interesting question. It is one that calls for a personal answer for
everyone. I don't invite an answer, but only raise the question.
"If you could have a super-star for a few years, would you want that dog?"
I know we are all trying to better the breed, but the way we compete is to
try to win by making our dog closer to the standard, under the judge we
enter. So, if you had a dog that was that perfect animal, but died within
five years, would you regret having the dog for those years?
Even when a dog of mine lives to be 12 or 13, I am troubled that I bred
something that lasted such a short time. I miss them when they die, and do
think maybe I never should have created that animal.
I am not inviting anyone to give me an opinion. I am just suggesting that
we all consider the question.
